More hypocrisy and nonsense from the repubs…

Well…have been thinking about this one since last night when I heard of the repubs new talking points on why they rejected expanded background checks for gun purchases…but, first, I wanted to talk about the latest bout of hypocrisy…a breathtaking one, at that, that is coming out of the rpubs these days…you have to remember how many of these teabagger idiots voted against aid for the victims of the storm Sandy on the east coast using excuses upon excuses to punish the supposedly “liberal” east coast for whatever crazy-assed fevered reason they had….and now, we have these same teabagger idiots like Ted Cruz immediately asking for federal aid for the people affected by the fertilizer plant explosion and asking that it be done quickly with no offsets or cuts in spending that ole Eric Cantor asked for for the Sandy victims. The worst part here is that these idiots don’t see the irony in their positions and go their merry way using the government to punish those that will never vote for them.

Oh, the nonsense…the latest talking points that are coming out of the repubs on the rejection of background checks is just as breathtakingly stupid as it can be…it goes something like this: Since the background checks wouldn’t catch every person that shouldn’t have a gun, then we shouldn’t pass any law about them…yep, that’s right, if a law is not airtight it shouldn’t be passed…using that logic, there is no reason to pass any law that criminalizes any behavior….since people still murder, there should be no laws that make it illegal, since people still rob banks, there should be no law against it…you get the point…what a bunch of stupid maroons….maybe if we can ridicule these guys for their stupidity, more people will see it and start to vote them out…we can only hope….geez….

More gun registration nonsense..

Well..have been taking in the outright nuttiness from the right on background checks for gun purchasers and the fear…no, that’s not it…the paranoia that is oozing from these folks that background checks will lead to gun registries and then the government coming to get everyone’s guns to subjugate the populace. Man, how stupid are these people? First, in this age of social media, do these folks think that the start of gun confiscation could be kept secret? Second, who is going to go after the guns in a country the size of the US? If they mobilized every soldier, police office, and dog catcher, the process would take years and what would people be doing while this started? Just sitting in their houses waiting? From this bunch of wannabee Rambos? Third, why not just hide the damn things when they come for them? Is the government going to dig up every back yard in the country? I have had enough of these alarmist idiots being taken seriously…we do need sensible gun regulations just like we need financial regulations and the other regulations that help set the rules that make societies run….geez…
